Paint.

   I've been fighting myself a bit lot lately.

   There are so many exciting and new things I want to challenge myself with and yes, much of the time I think "I've So Got This!"

   While other times my negative thoughts get the better of me  and I become overwhelmed.  I want to curl up in a ball on the couch in my blanket, eat whatever I want and hide from the world.


      I'm afraid of failure.  Why does not even trying, sometimes seem like a better option than attempting and failing?

    Today I saw a quote that I cut out over a year ago and stuck on a bulletin board, I hadn't read it in a while.  It touched me so much the first time I read it and it resonated very deeply with me and how I've been feeling when I read it again today.

    

 "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."

                              ~Vincent Van Gogh

                                     This year I am going to paint.
